    • Element Detail

      • value

        String[] value
        The CSV lines to use as the source of arguments; must not be empty.

        Each value corresponds to a line in a CSV file and will be split using the specified delimiter() or delimiterString(). Any line beginning with a # symbol will be interpreted as a comment and will be ignored.

      • delimiter

        char delimiter
        The column delimiter character to use when reading the lines.

        This is an alternative to delimiterString() and cannot be used in conjunction with delimiterString().

        Defaults implicitly to ',', if neither delimiter attribute is explicitly set.

        Default:
        '\u0000'
      • delimiterString

        @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
             since="5.6")
        String delimiterString
        The column delimiter string to use when reading the lines.

        This is an alternative to delimiter() and cannot be used in conjunction with delimiter().

        Defaults implicitly to ",", if neither delimiter attribute is explicitly set.

        Since:
        5.6
        Default:
        ""
      • emptyValue

        @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
             since="5.5")
        String emptyValue
        The empty value to use when reading the lines.

        This value replaces quoted empty strings read from the input.

        Defaults to "".

        Since:
        5.5
        Default:
        ""
      • nullValues

        @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
             since="5.6")
        String[] nullValues
        A list of strings that should be interpreted as null references.

        For example, you may wish for certain values such as "N/A" or "NIL" to be converted to null references.

        Please note that unquoted empty values will always be converted to null references regardless of the value of this nullValues attribute; whereas, a quoted empty string will be treated as an emptyValue().

        Defaults to {}.

        Since:
        5.6
        Default:
        {}
